Advice for business
Sorry. There is no clear answer. To set up a course of dealing, the supplier must show that the insolvent company did deal on the supplier’s terms on a number of previous occasions. If the supplier can set up a course of dealing, then you should treat their terms as incorporated into the contract.
But it takes skill and judgement to assess whether the previous transactions add up to a course of dealing. By all means, try to work it out for yourself, but be prepared to get a lawyer on your side before it gets nasty.
If you have not taken advice, click 'yes' and continue to work your way through the flowchart assuming that there was a course of dealing and see if the claim is resolved later on as you work through the questions.
